2013

A lot of the blogs I read are doing 2013 recaps. I love the idea of looking back through my pictures, and as it so happens all the bigs ditched me for a party across the street. Total win-win. This is the longest that I've been in a quiet house in years! So without further ado, and before I settle down with a plate of cookies and inappropriate tv...

Looking back, 2013 was full of travel, adventures, and major life changes. No wonder we're finishing out the year exhausted and broke! But it's like they say, I'd rather screech in at the last minute, dirty and disheveled.

About Me

I'm really just making it up as I go along. I'm a mom, wife, and a psychologist in a prison. I'm trying to figure out the whole work/life balance, build a career, raise my kids, and find the ever elusive laundry fairy. I spend a lot of time telling people to keep their hands out of their pants and yelling "Go potty!" You can contact me at chiconkypsy.d@gmail.com
